Load flexibility: will it work for Heyfield homes?

摘要: The MyTown Microgrid project is developing an innovative data-led approach to microgrids and local energy solutions, starting with the town of Heyfield in Victoria. Built on a platform of deep community engagement and capacity building, the project is also creating the knowledge and tools to make it faster, easier, and cheaper for other regional communities to understand the proposition for microgrids, and for complementary local energy solutions, for their towns.This report describes the economic potential of residential load flexibility for Heyfield stakeholders, including solar and non-solar householders, energy retailers, the network business, and the supporting technologies for implementation. It summarises the findings obtained from modelling load shifting scenarios for key flexible loads. The findings will inform the analysis of the business case for a community battery, energy efficiency upgrades, and community retailer/aggregator models.
